[OSGeo-UK] PostGIS to Arc Geodatabase

[razmjooeis at faunalia.co.uk]

One way...(maybe not the quickest and cleanest way) is to do it in GRASS:

1- Create a grid of tiles as a shapefile
2- Fill in the attribute to represent the tile name (tile 1, tile 2)
3- Create several shapefiles from the tiles
4- Import the tiles in GRASS using v.in.ogr
5- Now, you need to set the region to match each tile and import the
postgis layer, it will ignore the data outside tileX
          g.region vect=tileX
          v.in.ogr -r dsn="PG:host=localhost dbname=postgis user=postgres"
layer=layername output=tileX_coverage
type=boundary,centroid,area etc
          v.out.ogr to shapefile


This can be looped nicely in a bash or python script.

Hope that helps
